For those of you who do not know who this little fellow is, it might be better to let it introduce itself:

https://postimg.org/image/72xekpdij/ program we used to have. I never really did take advantage of that, since I never had a website. Is this how it used to work? Anyway, I wish I could stick around and see more of what Boco says, but my personal computer broke down, and this is a borrowed computer which I should be returning right now. It is by mere chance that I got the opportunity to see it at all.

By the way, the little bugger wants a Final Fantasy XIII forum. I wonder if this is a hint at something? shifty.gif

Your timing has been bad for a while! Here's where we first deployed Boco Buddy.

You're right, his art did come from the same chibi chocobo art that was once used for Adopt a Chocobo, though that was a simpler time and the chocobos we used for that didn't actually... do anything. They just sat there. I created all of the animations and audio for him specific for this use, and his quips are a joint effort between me and Neal.

He actually currently has 36 quips, so odds are you haven't seen many of them. Just about too late now, I suspect...

Also, I'm pretty sure he distracted from this year's April Fool prank, which has me a little sad. To be fair, this year's was incredibly subtle so if nobody noticed it it will just come back next year in a more obnoxious way because, well, spite.

I had to laugh when Boco Buddy said "My cousin is metal". I realize it was probably a reference to Word's paperclip, but I immediately thought of Lid's robotic chocobo from FF Brave Exvius.

Now I'm wondering what was the other joke that I missed. I didn't spend too much time exploring the site though; since it was also Easter I was rather busy with family obligations.

It is actually a two-way reference. You're correct about the reference to Clippy, but the other one is back to our old Adopt a Chocobo "feature" that Tonepoet mentioned, in which one of the options was a "metallic"-looking chocobo.

What about a man adopted by chocobos?

Burying their head in the sand is rather their nature...

eh.gif Who wants to read everything in the library with me? Boy that light's been on a while.

Peaceful Boco, don't bite smile.gif
